Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil (or melted butter)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, dried herbs, and garlic powder (if using).
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar (or Gruyère) and grated Parmesan until lightly coated in the flour mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk milk, olive oil, and eggs until smooth.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently just until no dry spots remain. Do not overmix.
  • Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake 45–50 minutes, until the top is deep golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
